Clothing Industry Should Not Let Low-Carbon Environmental Protection Become A Slogan.

1. "low carbon and environmental protection" is a sign of human civilization and progress. Clothing "low carbon and environmental protection" can not violate the law of scientific development, and should be treated scientifically and rationally.

2. "low carbon and environmental protection" is a "realm" reached by the progress of human civilization, and a concept of the formation of human civilization quality.

It is important to establish environmental awareness and not to understand it unilaterally and narrowly.

3., the current situation of low carbon and environmental protection in China.

In the 2009 Copenhagen conference, the word "low carbon" was flooded with various industries. At one time, low carbon, environmental protection, energy saving and emission reduction became familiar to people.

As a "clothing" in the "sofa" position, it is natural to escape the new concept of "low carbon clothing".

What is low carbon clothing? How to achieve low carbon clothing?

The Baidu entry of "low carbon clothing" is interpreted as follows: low carbon clothing is a broad concept of clothing environmental protection, generally refers to the way that each of us can lower the total amount of carbon emissions produced in the consumption of all garments, including the selection of clothing with low total carbon emissions, the clothing made of recycled materials, and the ways to increase the utilization rate of clothing and reduce the total consumption of clothing.

This concept makes most non experts consumers seem puzzled. How can we get low carbon in everyday life? Can't we use quantity?

Low carbon is also a mark of progress.

The higher the degree of concern for people, clothing and nature, the more marked the progress of human civilization.

"Low carbon environmental protection is a sign of human civilization and progress. Low carbon and environmental protection of clothing can not violate the law of social development, and scientific and rational treatment of low carbon clothing is the long-term development path."

Mu Aiqin, Minister of science and technology development of Beijing Textile Holdings Limited, has a rational understanding of low carbon clothing.

How to do a good job in low carbon is not easy to grasp. "In the face of hungry and thin refugees, you say that keeping your weight thin, fat and harmful to health, that is the destruction of humanity.

Similarly, in order to eat and drink as soon as possible, pirates are dangerous.

Mu Aiqin's humorous and philosophical interpretation makes people sigh deeply that human beings are constantly conquering nature and society is developing, and people have higher spiritual and material pursuits.

Whether from an aesthetic point of view or from a functional point of view, clothing has put forward higher requirements. Comfort and beauty are the trend of clothing development.

The low carbon nature of clothing can not be against such a "law".

In Mu Aiqin's eyes, "low carbon and environmental protection" is also a kind of "realm" reached by the progress of human civilization, and it is a concept in the formation of human civilization quality.

As she said, "what is important is to establish a sense of environmental protection and become a civilized person.

Do not wear less clothes, choose clothes made of natural materials and so on, and become a one-sided, narrow understanding of returning to nature and supporting low carbon and environmental protection.

"In the rainy season or hot and humid season in southern China, pure cotton fabrics are not necessarily less carbon and more environmentally friendly than functional cotton fabrics that are fast drying without fear of mildew." Mu Aiqin, who was in front of him, was not enthusiastic. The example cited was "hit the nail on the head."

Just as in the summer of 2005, the white-collar workers in the Japanese business community, in response to energy saving and emission reduction, took off their iconic dark blue professional clothes and switched on collar and open light colored clothes to reduce the opening of air conditioners. But if they were to work in the company in order to open less air conditioners, it would be impractical to attend the official meetings, so it would be impolite to attend formal meetings in order to save energy without wearing ties.

"Low carbon environmental protection is embodied in every detail of human activities, including dress habits and clothing consumption concept. We should start with small things and pay attention to energy conservation and environmental protection."

Too much is not enough. What Mu Aiqin conveyed is the expectation of low carbon, sustainable and healthy development of clothing.

Low carbon is not a concept to play.

In order to realize the low carbon of clothing, every link is indispensable from the production and processing of raw materials to the production and sale of garments.

"For the current situation of low carbon and environmental protection in China, there is another point to emphasize that low carbon environmental protection is achieved by scientific and technological progress, rather than by hype.

We must correctly understand our "long" and "short" in the garment industry, not blindly pursue the wind, so that "low carbon" will become a new non-tariff trade barrier for some developed countries to curb the development of China's textile and garment industry.

As Minister of science and Technology Development Department of Beijing Textile Holding Limited company, Mu Aiqin analyzed the current situation and future of low carbon clothing from the long term development of science and technology.

People who buy clothes don't care how strange your ideas are, and their competitive advantages should be reflected in whether the style is nice, the price is reasonable, and whether the clothes are comfortable to wear.

According to the environmental resource management company, a treaty of 400 grams of polyester pants, assuming that it produces raw materials in Taiwan, made garments in Indonesia, and finally shipped to the United Kingdom for sale.

The service life is two years. The washing machine with 50 degrees of warm water is washed for 92 times. After washing, it is dried by a dryer, and the average time is two minutes.

In this way, it consumes about 200 kilowatt hours of energy, equivalent to 47 kilograms of carbon dioxide, and 117 times its own weight.

In contrast, natural fabrics such as cotton and linen are not synthesized from raw materials such as oil, such as chemical fiber, and therefore consume less energy and pollutants.

Research from Melbourne University showed that the impact of cannabis cloth on ecology was 50% less than that of cotton.

Cloth made from bamboo fiber and linen also saves water and pesticides more than cotton cloth in the process of production.

Looking at these figures and links, if we really want to step into the "low-carbon clothing" journey, we can not finish it overnight.

From the point of view of garment manufacturers, we need to achieve technological progress to achieve the whole process of garment production and processing, lower energy consumption, less emissions and pollution-free, and provide more choices of non-toxic, harmless, healthy and environmentally friendly products for different consumer groups to meet the needs of different consumers for low-carbon environmental protection.

In Mu Aiqin's view, as a social person, we should try our best to fulfill our social responsibilities. We should encourage the industrial chain to produce raw materials of clothing materials through environmental protection through economic levers.

At the same time, we should use scientific methods to achieve the recycling of surplus clothing resources for consumers.

"The most rational and scientific use of resources to make resources create better benefits for our society is the social responsibility of our apparel industry."

Holding a responsibility to society and measuring fashion with technology may be the most powerful support for this era.
